Wow guys,
OK, just got back from a business trip, and downloaded the FFS. Been waiting for this for quite awhile, but wow, was it worth the wait. GREAT job as a first pass ! Flawless download of the entire US here, on a 100mb fibre connection no issues. What fun to just fly around once again at 90fps with no tweaking , no shader issues, etc etc. Raw flying fun !
I use Saitek Cessna yoke, throttle quadrant, T-rudder pedals and a very old GoFLight stack for radios, autopilot, and gear / flaps. I peer through the nose hole of the Rift to see my controls, so I dont use any of the touch stuff to fly. All except GF are working fine - need drivers for this. Still looking for the toe brake setup for the rudder pedal but I see now how to set it up thanks to the other post. selecting the rudder pedals wasnt straightforward here.
feedback :
- I've seen the other posts and I know scenery is at the top of the list. Mountains look fantastic as a first pass, good textures and colors. Flying around KSLC area is just great. NO tweaking, no shader crap, just flat out flying fun ! YES !
- Love the flight dynamics ! MilViz is one of the top modelers IMHO, so its a great pick.
- Please focus on getting the airports looking more reasonable. I saw the note about the next patch, so thanks for that.
- Any way to add a 'GPS out / GPS network broadcast' function like the other guys ? We use ForeFlight on iPad exclusively for nav and planning, which transfers nicely to our RW flying. Please give it some consideration.
- How about Ortho4FFS ? crazy idea ? ....ok, but , Ortho4XP is a fantastic way to add satellite imagery scenery to a favorite area. I realize it depends on your SDK and approach but please comment on the idea.
more to come but CONGRATS on getting it out there . I still remember my first VR flight in FlyInside for FSX a couple of years ago. Everything changed , Flight Simming became relevant again (after 30 years , starting out on SubLOgic on a C-64) thanks to you. I and many others are behind this initiative 120%. It fills a niche in the FS community that hasnt been done yet. Keep it up Dan & team.
